It's not. I hope that a judgement against you has not been entered yet. You need to take swift and meaningful action here, because this debt is not stats barred.
I would, if it's not too late, speak to a trustee immediately with a view to filing a consumer proposal or BK, especially since your future job prospects seem promising according to your own words.
Your credit will be clear six years after the date of discharge (or three after you satisfy a consumer proposal) although this is a ton better than having a 10 year plus 10 year option on an unsatisfied judgement and 6 years after it's satisfied.
Lenders will actually grant mortgages after BK in as little as 2-3 years after discharge in some cases, and you can use a secured card to re-establish credit when your situation is stabilized.
